Busy Summer!

Hey guys! It's me Zion. Hope you are having an awesome day today. I know I sure am! Life is good and I am having so much fun! There has been a lot of commotion at my house lately and Mom and Dad have been SUPER busy. They started a non-profit when they got married called Go International. They travel all over the world helping people. In just a few days we are all getting on an airplane to Miami and Dad is going to go down and help some kids in Panama. I sure am gonna miss him a lot but I am so glad that he is going to help out the kids. I actually got to go to Panama last summer when I was in Mommy's tummy. You can see me in the picture above with my Panama maracas that Mom and Dad bought me- and I am all ready to go with my super cool missions travel outfit. Next summer I am definitely going to go on a trip with Go International and I can't wait!

So instead of going with the team to Panama Mom and I will be going to Massachusetts to see my Grammy Dee and Grandpa Chuck. I even get to meet my big Uncles Mike and Sean! It's gonna be awesome! Then Mom and Dad said that they are going to take me to this place called Disney World! I have no idea what that means but they seem super excited when they talk about it to me. So summer is going to be crazy busy. In fact, I am getting tired just thinking about it. I better get to bed before Mom and Dad see that I am up this late blogging. Comment below and tell me what YOU are going to do this summer! Adios!

Growing up

Hi everybody! Hope you are all doing AWESOME! I know I sure am. Mom, Dad and I are having a blast hanging out, rocking, cuddling and eating. As they say in old Pari "Cest si bon!" or as we would say it here in the U.S. "This is the life!"

Things are getting easier for me out here in the world. I like to do things that really impress Mom and Dad. For example, when I was in the hospital Mom picked me up for the first time and put me over her shoulder and I picked up my head and looked around. It was awesome- she went crazy! Then she started bragging on me and telling everyone how strong I was and how advanced I was, it was great.

(This is a pic of me seconds before I held my head up in the hospital.)

Holding your own head up is soooooo last month. My latest and greatest way to impress them is to hold my own bottle. Check out the vid they filmed of me doing it for the first time:

Big Boy Baths

Hey everybody! Mom and Dad took pics of me taking my first "big boy bath" the other day. Unlike most kids my age I didn't cry. But honestly guys, I'm really not sure what I think about baths. First off, they are really wet. Which is a familiar, yet strange feeling. So, despite the fact that baths really do freak me out, I have found a way to make it through the entire bath without crying. (You may want to take notes if baths freak you out too cause this is some really good techniques for staying calm during your bath time.)

First, I tried lifting my hands and legs out of the water and holding them in the air. This gets tiring though. So now I keep my arms and legs in the water and I try to lay real still and put on my best big boy brave face. You can see what that face looks like here:

You may want to practice your big boy face in the mirror a few times so you get it right. Here you can see Mom washing my hair. Forget Johnson and Johnson, there's not a tear anywhere in sight of this big boys eyes!

Mom decided to keep my diaper for my first big boy bath because she gave me a "sponge bath" without it and I pooped. (he he.) Now, I can totally take baths without a diaper, but sometimes I do like to pee in the water. (he he.)

Well guys, it's midnight and I really need to quit blogging and go to bed. Everybody remember to practice your big boy face in the mirror!

Night-night everybody!
